ITV News runs through the timeline of election night on July 4.
On July 4, voters will go to the polls in the General Election to decide who will be the next prime minister of the United Kingdom.
It’s important to note that these times are based on the last election, and since then many of the boundaries between constituencies have been redrawn to reflect population changes, which could slow things down.Shortly after the polls close at 10pm, the exit poll will be released, giving us the first idea of what the results might look like.
Historically it’s been Sunderland and Newcastle who battle it out to declare first, reflecting their Tyne-Wear football rivalry. Between 1992 and 2015 Sunderland were always the fastest, but in the last two elections Newcastle beat them to it. While the seat has always been true-blue, a recent YouGov poll suggested the Tories would beat Labour by only two percentage points.- This is Sir Keir Starmer’s seat in central London. Starmer holds the seat with a huge majority of 49%.- A significant Labour victory would rely on significant gains in Scotland, where they need to win back seats they previously lost to the SNP.
One poll last month by Savanta predicted a Tory wipeout, with one of the seats projected to turn red being Sunak’s own.
